Journal ArticleDOI
RBBP6 Interacts with Multifunctional Protein YB-1 through Its RING Finger Domain, Leading to Ubiquitination and Proteosomal Degradation of YB-1
Moredreck Chibi,Mervin Meyer,Amanda Skepu,D. Jasper G. Rees,Johanna C. Moolman-Smook,David J.R. Pugh +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that both full-length RBBP6 and the isolated RING finger domain were able to ubiquitinate YB-1, resulting in its degradation in the proteosome, and that R BBP6 was able to suppress the levels of Yb-1 in vivo and to reduce its transactivational ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indium phosphide-based semiconductor nanocrystals and their applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the synthesis of indium phosphide (InP) colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals is presented, where two synthetic techniques, namely, hot-injection and heating-up, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro evaluation of dichloro-bis(pyrazole)palladium(II) and dichloro-bis(pyrazole)platinum(II) complexes as anticancer agents.
Frankline K. Keter,Stonard Kanyanda,Sylvester Leonard Lyantagaye,James Darkwa,D. Jasper G. Rees,Mervin Meyer +5 more
TL;DR: This in vitro study provides insights into action of palladium and platinum complexes and demonstrates the potential use of these compounds, and in particular complex 3, in the development of new anticancer agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced antimicrobial and anticancer activity of silver and gold nanoparticles synthesised using sargassum incisifolium aqueous extracts.
Mokone Mmola,Marilize Le Roes-Hill,Kim Durrell,John J. Bolton,Nicole Remaliah Samantha Sibuyi,Mervin Meyer,Denzil R. Beukes,Edith Antunes +7 more
TL;DR: The silver nanoparticles produced using the aqueous extracts of the brown algae Sargassum incisifolium were particularly toxic to Gram-negative bacteria, while the gold nanoparticles lacked activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiproliferative and Apoptosis Induction Potential of the Methanolic Leaf Extract of Holarrhena floribunda (G. Don)
TL;DR: Induction of apoptosis, ROS, and cell cycle arrest were time- and dose-dependent for the cancer cell lines studied and provide a basis for further studies on the isolation, characterization, and mechanistic evaluation of the bioactive compounds responsible for the antiproliferative activity of the plant extract.
